As a result, jobs are more common in some cities than others. For example, PayScale recently dug into its salary data to determine which jobs (both high-paying and not-so-high-paying) were more common in New York City than other metro areas.

These are some of the jobs that you’re more likely to find in New York than most other places in the country:

Editors: Editors do not have that same glowing occupational outlook (the BLS projects a 5 percent decline by 2024), but they do have more opportunity in New York, where their job is more than four times as common as the national average.

Art Directors: Art directors create the look and feel of promotional and ad campaigns in magazines, web, and television and film. No wonder their job is more common in Mad Men-inspiring New York than in other areas of the country.

Relative Commonness: 3.3

Median Annual Pay: $91,000

Makeup Artists, Theatrical and Performance: Actors and dancers and other performance artists need professionals to help them look the part; makeup artists make it happen.

Relative Commonness: 2.9

Median Annual Pay: $47,000

Taxi Drivers and Chauffeurs: If you’re cruising for a nervous breakdown, bring your car with you the next time you visit NYC. Or skip it, and rely on a taxi drivers and chauffeurs, who are always in demand.

Relative Commonness: 2.8

Median Annual Pay: $48,000

Historians: The highest paying job on this list is also probably the one you’d least expect. Historians, who often work for museums and visitor centers, as well as a variety of public and private institutions, find a home in New York.

Relative Commonness: 2.7

Median Annual Pay: $107,000

Concierges: Which way is the subway? Where can you find a snack at 2 a.m.? How can you get tickets for Hamilton, or whatever the Hamilton of the moment happens to be? Just kidding: no one can answer that last question. In general, though, concierges know what’s up, and that’s why they’re twice as common in New York as anywhere else.

Methodology: PayScale created this report based on common job titles in a specific region. Relative Commonness is a ratio of how common a job is in a specific region when compared to the national average. For example, a job with a relative commonness of “2.0” is twice as common in the region as it is nationally. Median pay is the national median (50th Percentile) annual total cash compensation.
